Next check the DIP switch settings on the Magma Host Card as shown:
The DIP switch can be set
to either the x4 or x8
position as can be seen in
the photo.
Since EB2 supports x8
speeds, it is recommended
to set it in the x8 position
for optimized performance
and compatibility. It should
only be set to x4 if one is
certain that the PCIe slot on
the host PC is x4.
Attach Power and Expansion Cables
Carefully position the expansion chassis so that the supplied expansion
cable will conveniently reach from the host computer to the connectors
on the back of the chassis. Connect one end of the iPass cable to the
expansion chassis’ iPass connector labeled “IN”. Then connect the
other end of the iPass cable to the host card located in the host
computer. Finally connect the power cord to the back of the chassis.
Connect one end of the cable to
the bottom iPass connector
Connect the other end to
the host card.
